Morphology

glazed = glaze (transparent) = glaze + ed

Culinary 'glazed' (covered with a glossy coating) is a direct result-state of the verb 'glaze' plus -ed, so the meaning is predictable.

Etymology

Glazed comes from an old word for glass, because cooks give food a shiny, 'glass-like' coat (with sugar, egg, or gel). So a glazed doughnut or ham has a glossy, reflective cover.
